You paleo-nerds had hundreds of years to let everyone know that some dinos had feathers. It's too late to whine about the depictions of them now.

Since the early 1990s, when the first Jurassic Park came out, evidence has mounted that many of its lizard-skinned stars in fact wore feathery bling. The turkey-sized Velociraptor and at least some of the gigantic tyrannosaurs had feathers. A few dinosaurs even had iridescent ones, perhaps for display.

Even if they did have information that dinos had feathers back when the first film was made, thats not how people know them. Plus, it was the first time animals were rendered in CGI. It would have been a pain in the cock to also give them CG feathers. And it would have looked stupid.

Eternal Virgin:I actually want feathered dinosaurs, just to see how they can make them look scary.

If all mammals except for bats went extinct, some far-future paleontologists would be trying to convince its fellows that yes, those ancient grizzly bears and tigers would have been terrifying even though they were covered with fuzzy fur, just like harmless little bats.

He's trying to say that you're 5/10 of the way to the correct age of the dinos. But 4.5/10 would be closer. I wouldn't worry about it.

If I were making Jurassic Park 4, I'd use it as a mechanism to bring people around to the idea of marriage equality. I'd be sure to feature happily married lesbian dinosaurs raising perfectly normal dino kids. I'd have scientists and raptors falling in love, and show how ravaging it is on their relationships when they're denied to marry the human or dinosaur of their choice. But no, these topics are simply too controversial and the studios will never take them head on, instead turning a blind eye to dinosexual love and gay dinosaurs.

Raptors with feathers might be scary, but a Trex would look simply retarded.

As a kid I was a dino fanatic, but as I got older and started keeping reptiles as pets the whole thing was confusing regarding body temperature. Dinos wouldn't be cold blooded and be that large, but being warm blooded without fur/feathers would be a huge waste of energy.

Yeah, whales and elephants have a hell of a time being large, warm-blooded and virtually hairless.

Who cares, it's entertainment. Now they'll know how I feel whenever I watch a movie with the U.S. Air Force in it. Just sit there shaking your head thinking; Nope that's wrong. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Bullshiat, that could never happen.

look, the frog DNA was also what allowed them to gender-morph and start breeding. You know what the solution to that problem is, my friend? Bird DNA. Feathers and all.

Also, T-rex, allosaurus, etc. are more like giant crocodiles, not running around on land. Powerful tale, legs built for launching, eyes and nostrils at the top of their head. If you look at a T-rex foot, they look like the swimming foot of a crocodile with long, relatively slender bones. Not the small, rounder bones used to support large amounts of weight. Their little "arms" would seem useless, but are perfect when youre belly down scooting along the bottom of a lake or river.
